CONCORD, N.H.: A New Hampshire state senator unaware he was unmuted during a remote hearing Wednesday apologized after calling a female colleague a vulgar name.
Sen. Sharon Carson, a Republican from Londonderry, was leading the meeting of the Executive Departments and Administration Committee when she briefly paused the committee’s work.
Im sorry, my daughter is currently hospitalized and her doctor is on the phone. Im going to put the committee in recess for 10 minutes, she said, according to video posted by WMUR-TV.
Nobody else can do anything. Right,” said Sen. John Reagan, R-Deerfield, followed by the vulgarity.
As the meeting adjourned later, Reagan said, Apologies for my recorded outburst previously.
Carson, who thanked Reagan for the apology, did not immediately respond to a request for further comment.
In an email to The Associated Press, Reagan called his remark an open mic zoom goof.
